Tesla CEO Elon Musk sued by British cave rescue diver he called 'pedo guy' and 'child rapist'
Controversial Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) chief executive Elon Musk was sued Monday for libel and slander in US district court in California by the British rescue diver he called a “pedo guy” and “child rapist,” a report by CNBC said.
British cave explorer Vernon Unsworth, who played a role in the rescue of a trapped Thai boys soccer team, is seeking US$75,000 in compensatory damages along with an injunction barring Musk to ”refrain from making further publication of the False and Defamatory Accusations,” according to court documents.
Musk has been a controversial figure over the past month, facing a lawsuit over accusations he misled investors when he announced plans in early August to take the company private.

“Musk’s influence and wealth cannot convert his lies into truth or protect him from accountability for his wrongdoing in a court of law,” the lawsuit by Unsworth said.
Respectively, Musk accused Unsworth of being a pedophile, child rapist, child sex trafficker, the husband of a 12-year old child bride and a liar.
Unsworth said all those accusations are not true. There was no immediate reaction from Musk for comment, CNBC said.
